What is Soul Healing?​

Soul healing is healing that occurs at the soul or spiritual level. I believe that the soul provides us many messages through our emotions or body via aches, pains or even dis-ease. The source of this dis-ease is our thoughts, beliefs, emotions and often times can be unconscious. Furthermore, we are multi-dimensional beings. What does this mean? Not only are we a physical person on earth but we have multiple lives at the same time. Many call them past lives, whatever you call them, they are valid experiences and they affect the “you” now. ​Soul healing gets to the source of dis-ease and illness and identifies the cause and hence creates a solution. The medical model today ignores the root cause of illness or simply treat the symptoms, not identify the cause of the problem.

Soul healing is an ancient way of healing, similar to what tribal shamans did for 100s of thousands of years for people in their villages. We have finally come to a point in society where we are opening up to this type of healing. People are searching for answers and the medical model does not provide. (Please note I am not discounting medical doctors, they certainly are very helpful and are needed in many cases). How do I know soul healing is for me?

If you feel like you are searching for a solution to a problem that is chronic and you’ve tried everything else, soul healing is for you.

If you’ve been to countless doctors and they tell you that there is nothing wrong with you, but you still have symptoms or just feel that something is not right, soul healing is for you.​ If you are searching for healing that recognizes all parts of you, not just your physical part, soul healing is for you. ​There is something very validating about the recognition of your whole authentic self. Soul healing digs deeper, challenges you to open up to feelings and experiences that you have suppressed or even were not even conscious of. Recognize the true cause and then you can find the right solution.

What is Usui Reiki?

Reiki (pronounced Ray-kee)is an ancient healing tradition that was rediscovered in the late 19th century by Dr. Mikao Usui in Japan.

The word Reiki means Universal Life Force Energy. Reiki is a simple, yet very powerful, hands-on, light-touch technique that reduces stress, promotes relaxation, and balances emotions. Reiki increases one's energy level and sense of well-being, promoting personal growth and healing on emotional, physical, and spiritual levels. Reiki is an appropriate treatment for people of all ages, from infancy to the elderly. It is used as an adjunctive therapy in hospitals, nursing homes, and hospices.

What is Intuitive Reiki?

Intuitive Reiki is a combination treatment of Reiki and a psychic reading.

A Reiki session with me means you receive Reiki energy healing AND a spiritual reading. When you book a Reiki session with me, it's more than Reiki.

​When I give Reiki, it also opens the door Spirit and their messages. I receive detailed information on your guardian angels, spirit guides, past loves ones or higher vibrational beings my client connects with. Receiving these messages is validating and soothing and clients always feel at peace knowing they are protected and being guided.

Intuitive Counseling

Tarot and Oracle Card Readings

The Tarot cards are an ancient divination tool used to receive guidance from Spirit or your higher self. The cards are full of symbolism and can be a useful tool to get guidance and answers to your questions. Tina is a Certified Angel Card Reader and uses Doreen Virtue's Angel Tarot deck as well as other Tarot decks in her readings.

Oracle card decks are organized by topic or subject. For example, if you have a Life Purpose question, a useful deck to use would be Doreen Virtue's Life Purpose Oracle cards.

What is Shamanism?

Shamanism is an ancient healing tribal practice where a shaman (also known as medicine man or woman) travels to the Spirit world to receive guidance or healing on behalf of tribal members. There are many different rituals that shamans practice and differ according to culture. Tina is trained to do shamanic journeys and soul retrievals. A shamanic journey is a self guided meditation to the spirit world. You can ask any question and received an answer and guidance via a shamanic journey.

So what is a shamanic journeylike? Well it's like dreaming while you are awake. The following is a a description of a shamanic journey I performed for a client.

Client question: How can I better love myself?

My power animals joined me and as i left the Tree of Life all I saw was mist. We walked into the mist and I couldn't see anything. After waiting a while, I asked what is this? We swooped up to a higher dimension and I saw a group pf brown hawks. They were bobbing up and down to the drum music beat.Suddenly the client's spirit guide appeared with wings. She said right now things are not clear, hence the mist, but they will become clearer. The hawks represent light workers that will come to the client for help, as in teaching, counseling and healing. I asked if the spirit guide gets frustrated with the client. She said no, not at all, the client is doing well and accomplishing so much before she was supposed to.

A soul retrievalis a self guided meditation to the spirit world to retrieve lost pieces of yourself. Every time someone experiences a strong emotional event, whether good or bad, you could lose a piece of yourself at that event. A soul retrieval would retrieve these pieces so you can be whole again.

Here is an example of soul retrieval I did for a client:

When I left the Tree of Life I was on a hillside lacking trees or plants or any kind. When I climbed the hill, from the top I could see a small village down below. Smoke emitted from the chimneys. When I entered the main street of the village I was drawn to a clinic to the right. Inside was a young pregnant woman lying in a bed doubled over in pain. (Interestingly enough my stomach started to hurt too). She was going to lose a baby girl. She didn't want to let go. Her fear was palatable. I leaned down and took her hand and told her that you (the client) were looking for her, a lost piece of her soul. I told her that you were young and didn't have any children yet and that she could experience this again through you. I was holding a crystal in my hand to blow your soul piece into it. Instead I gave it to her and told her to blow herself into the crystal four times. Once she did this she disappeared/vaporized.

We (me and my animals guides) went out into the street and walked further down. On the left was a several story apartment building (the kind that looks like a tenement building in NYC). We went up to the 2nd floor and knocked on a door. A young boy with dark hair answered. He had circles under his eyes. He looked like he was 12 but he said he was 15. He said he had been waiting for us for a long time. The apartment was dark and empty except for a few pieces of furniture. I asked him (Mark) why he was here. He said he lost his parents and he's been here ever since. He said he was starving. I told him he no longer had to stay there and then he could reunite with the client. He readily agreed and blew into the crystal and vaporized.

When we left the building we entered a pretty urban park in London. Everything was green and beautiful and there was a pond. I was wondering why I was there when a little boy peeked out from behind the tree. He was playing peek a boo. I said "I see you!" He comes out and he says, you did? His name is Christian and he's about 4 or 5. He said he was lost in this park, playing peek a boo and it took his parents a long time to find him. There's still a piece of him/you there because he liked it there and the strong emotion of being lost kept him there. I explained that he no longer needed to stay and that you were looking for him. He, like the others, blew into the crystal and vaporized.
